I remember this from the webcomic contest. Glad to see it's been added to the series. This is one of the strips that made me pick it as one of my favorites. Crazy. Unexpected. Mildly disturbing. And hilarious.

The change to the penultimate panel is interesting. In the original version, I believe the intellectual said something along the lines of, "Would you like to make out?" Now it's just wordless. It makes the final panel more surreal.

OK, that one was pretty damn good! Kudos. I just started checking out the escapist Sunday comics, and although I wasn't terribly wowed by the first 8 Bumhug strips joke-wise, the art styles have been neat, and overall it's significantly better than the other comics.
